For the Chargers, making a smart choice with the 25th pick in May's NFL Draft will go a long way in determining whether they return to the playoffs next season.

The combine begins today in Indianapolis, where a lot of prospects have the opportunity to separate themselves in the draft process. So expect major changes next week.

Until then, here is my updated 2014 NFL Mock Draft including the first three rounds:

ROUND ONE

1) Houston (2-14) — Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville, Jr.

Bridgewater's accuracy, underrated athleticism and experience in a pro-style scheme make him a better fit here, especially with immediate results expected in today's NFL. Would it shock me to see Jadeveon Clowney chosen here, and the Texans address the quarterback position in the second round? No. Top needs: QB, OT, S.

In a perfect world, I know the Rams would love to trade, move down a few spots while stockpiling picks, and still land Matthews. He'd be worthy of the top overall pick in most drafts. His bloodline is irrefutable (See: Hall of Fame father Bruce, uncle Clay and All-Pro cousin Clay III). Top needs: S, WR, OL.

3) Jacksonville (4-12) — Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M, So.

Coach Gus Bradley has experience with short, charismatic quarterbacks, and I'm sure owner Shahid Kahn would appreciate adding a showman like Johnny Football. Manziel's arm strength and accuracy improved during his sophomore season, and the eyes in the back of his head still maintain 20/20 vision. Here's a solid breakdown of the top four QB prospects.Top needs: QB, DE, OT.

4) Cleveland (4-12) — Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson, Jr.

Watkins was arguably the best wide receiver in the nation last fall, finishing fifth nationally in receiving yards (1,464), 11th in receptions (101) and tied for 10th in touchdowns (12). Combining him with Josh Gordon could be lethal, and make their new quarterback's job that much easier. Top needs: QB, RB, OG.

5) Oakland (4-12) — Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina, Jr.

Facing Peyton Manning and Philip Rivers twice a season makes this a no-brainer. Even the Raiders can't screw this up. If Clowney isn't here, a quarterback is likely the pick. Also, if he does fall this far, I could see the Falcons paying a king's ransom to move up one spot. Top needs: QB, WR, OT.

6) Atlanta (4-12) — Khalil Mack, OLB, Buffalo, Sr.

Mack has dominated college football for years, racking up all-time records of 16 forced fumbles and 75 tackles for a loss. The U-T's Matt Calkins wrote a great piece on him here. Top needs: DE, OL, TE.

What do you think?

Who do you think the Bolts need to pick up in the draft? What holes in the lineup do you want to see filled? Share your opinions in the comments below.

7) Tampa Bay (4-12) — Anthony Barr, OLB, UCLA, Sr.

Barr followed up his breakout junior season with 20 tackles-for-loss, the fifth-highest total in the nation. He added 10 sacks, 43 solo tackles, five forced fumbles and four fumbles recovered. He's still raw, though, considering he's only played the position for two seasons. He's not as polished as Mack. Top needs: DE, WR, OT.
